FOR PROVIDERS
Help us help your patients control mild to severe hand tremors.
Thank you for your interest in the Readi-Steadi® Orthotic Glove System. We would love to help you with your patients! On average, custom Readi-Steadi® orthotics reduce hand tremors by 50% or more and are covered by most insurances, including Medicare. Medicaid does not cover the glove system, however we do offer self-pay rates.

8). How will patient benefit from Custom Fabrication AND Frequency of Use:
- Need for custom joint support due to at least ONE of the following: tremor causing hand and arm weakness, joint deformity, pain, stiffness, rigidity, tenosynovitis, abnormal tone, and/or joint contracture risk.
- Need for proper anatomical positioning on involved side due to at least ONE of the following: presence of repetitive overexertion/strain due to tremors, history or risk for joint disease including OA, improper grasp utilized, excessive wrist extension while holding and manipulating objects, excessive shoulder elevation and/or adduction by side, and/or requires solid surfaces for support resulting in poor posture.
- Patient responds favorably to manual sensory trick inhibition cue, geste antagoniste placed over involuntary contracting musculature in clinic. Since the custom orthoses components of the Readi-Steadi® system are based on the same proven neurological principle, the referred patient would be a good candidate.
